Doubtful. I already own Echolyn’s “Mei”. Hard to believe there’s any song I’d like more.
That being said, I’m always on the lookout for new music. I’d love to find a song better than “Mei”, despite how impossible that seems to me.
Might not even be in your language
Teenage me could never have imagined how much I love city pop now.
You have any examples of that?
Reminds me of a saying, “that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet”.
I’ve already heard All Star by Smash Mouth.
Rip Mr mouth
Same with books and reading.
Well the greatest song in the world was famously performed by Jack Black and Kyle Gass, and they can’t remember how it went
Luckily they wrote a tribute
A wild D reference appears…
I just heard of reverend beat-man from watching righteous gemstones. That song black metal is sick
I listen to more than 20,000 minutes of music every year, according to Spotify. The vast majority are songs I’ve never heard before and I’m constantly finding new songs I love.
Well, share one with us.
Well anyway, here’s wonderwall
I mean, it’s a remix but here you go:

Falle Nioke, sir Was: Wonama yo ema
Joe Goddard, Mara Carlyle: She Burns
Mixhell, Joe Goddard, Mutado Pintado: Crocodile Boots - Soulwax Remix
Edit: and here’s the first song from my Discover Weekly playlist. Already off to a good start!
What about the past 250,000 years of lost music?
They didn’t have auto tune so is it really music
In fact, the odds are you will never hear the song you’d like best.
There’s a good chance that you’d a have a new favorite song every day if you could listen to all of them. We’re constantly changing and they would probably speak to us differently on different days.
I know exactly what genres to listen for and make an effort to explore new artists and smaller labels

Now my favourite song of the year at least

The best songs we’ve ever heard are the ones we listened to as teenagers. You’ll never get a dopamine rush like that again.
Brain imaging studies show that our favorite songs stimulate the brain’s pleasure circuit, which releases an influx of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other neurochemicals that make us feel good. The more we like a song, the more we get treated to neurochemical bliss, flooding our brains with some of the same neurotransmitters that cocaine chases after.
Music lights these sparks of neural activity in everybody. But in young people, the spark turns into a fireworks show. Between the ages of 12 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for good.
I disagree. When I was a teenager, I loved Green Day, Nirvana, The Offspring, and The Sex Pistols. I went through a heavy phase in my early 20s.
While I still like those artists and songs, there are other bands and songs that I like more now. (The Rumjacks are a great band if anyone’s looking for something new).
The music I listened to when I was in my teens and early 20s will always be special to me, and shaped my tastes, but now that I’m in my 40s, my life is vastly different to how it was back then, and other songs speak to me more now than those songs do.
Yeah there’s other music that I enjoy more now, but I put on Nevermind the other day and my voice was hoarse within ten minutes. Sang that whole thing through at maximum volume in the car.
Yeah, there’s no denying that it’s a fantastic album :)
I agree with you. Back then my preference was pretty narrow, but I still love most of what I listened to. Now there’s something in almost every genre that I really like.
Interesting. What did you listen to in your 30’s? Do you remember it as vividly as you do the music you listened to in your teenage years? Can you sing along the same way? How will the music you listen to now compare when you’re in your 50’s?
Not saying the music is objectively better or suitable for all points in life. Just pointing to studies saying teenagers have a huge emotional response to music. IIRC there have been studies showing dementia patients kind of wake up when you start playing music they listened to in their teens.
It’s “better = more suitable here and now” vs “better = more impactful” I guess.
Amour Plastique and Roi 🤤
